The only difference is that K.Dot throws shade through his craft, and Drake through his words. The contrast between their approaches has sparked intense debate among fans.

Following the debacle with many rooting for Lamar, in a recent chat show, Drake, fresh off from his woes, seems to be making sure that the drama is nowhere near an end.

Drake appeared to take subtle shots at Kendrick Lamar while streaming with xQc. As the stream began, Drake said, "You need facts to take me out, fairytales won't do it." The 'God's Plan' rapper said these words while introducing himself to which xQc responded, "words to live by." The duo was then seen raising his glasses in a toast.

Rap TV reported on its official X account that Drake's comments seem to be reigniting the feud between him and Kendrick Lamar. Although Drake did not explicitly mention Lamar's name, his words were perceived as a veiled reference. The implication arises since Drake has often dismissed K. Dot's allegations as false and pointless.

Kendrick Lamar's track 'wacced out murals' on his latest hit GNX, is believed to contain a subtle jab at Drake. The lyrics "You trade bars for deals, I trade bars for real" have sparked speculation about a feud between the two rappers. Reports, including one from Forbes, have interpreted these lines as a critique of an unnamed artist prioritizing commercial success over artistic integrity. 

The track 'wacced out murals' is not the first time Lamar has addressed themes of his authentic diss track abilities in hip-hop. He has a series of tracks and albums that have been a direct hit for Drake, from 'Not Like Us', 'euphoria', and more. Although the chart-topping rapper has not mentioned any direct references on his latest hit, it has given rise to a lot of speculations that the lyrics are indeed a diss at Drake. The subtle jab has added fuel to the ongoing speculation about a feud between the two rappers.
